EKWB Predator 360 According EKWB concerns the problem of the revision 1.0-models EK 240 and EK Predator XLC XLC-Predator 360. This all-in-one water cooling systems were introduced a few months ago. The manufacturer initially thought the problem could occur only in a small percentage of the research assistants and was planning to solve by directly with customers to contact.

The problem turned out to be more widespread and therefore EKWB has decided to recall all copies of the PhD coolers. These are products produced in October and December 2015. The manufacturer calls on users to stop using the coolers directly and has released a new revision 1.1, which would have eliminated the risk of leakage.

The risk of leakage is caused by a faulty O-ring on the EK-Supremacy MX CPU block, which is part of the Predator PhD coolers. EKWB says any damages that users have encountered to reimburse their components due to a leaking cooler. All owners of an affected copy may return their cooler and get their money back, or choose a new one with the problem should be solved.
